He played in the KHL last season. The Islanders had a crowded crease last year in both the AHL and NHL, so Russia was probably his best option.
I can't imagine that the Oilers acquired him to play in the NHL next year. Because he was in Russia last year, he should still have one more season being waiver exempt.
